I'm actually in the process of moving a large monolith from EC2 to Heroku and this is exactly what the plan is: our DB (> 10TB) is on RDS; ES, Redis also are from AWS. Third-party services aren't provisioned through the marketplace, instead straight through the vendor. Right now this is Datadog and a bug reporter.
We're extremely overprovisioned on EC2 as it is (peaking at 54GB consumed RAM over the last 12 months, and we have 386GB available) so management is welcoming the change to a bunch of Performance L dynos!
We're moving to Heroku for a variety of reasons — least of which is their recent fiasco — primarily dev exp and Pipelines/review apps (still supported!). Both will give our developers a vastly superior experience to what they had: nothing (we desperately need it).

Throwaway for obvious reasons.I’ll try to be as concise as possible. Some details have been changed to protect myself.I used to operate a website that hotlinked to an asset from $company’s S3 bucket. When $company was made aware of my doing from the FBI, the FBI asked them to calculate the loss amount. They did this by looking at IPs that hit the bucket over a span of 1 month, and the IPs that...

I have found that the more excited that a customer is excited about a product the more apt they are to be your best salesperson. This was especially true for
one of my consumer SaaS.
At the very least, I can be assured that Steam is actively being worked on. I get an update every time I sign in!
Really interesting and I have no idea why it has to be this hard. Fun nonetheless, though cynically, I was holding out hope that hope that after all the work he'd find the feature in the web interface.
The case I'm referring to didn't involve Amazon.
The FBI is all kind of hanky. This just affirms my experience.
In my experience, they don't do their due diligence of a victim's reporting: they take what they say at face value if it's a corporation. Multi-million dollar loss? Couldn't have possibly been calculated in bad faith.
It was.
